Watford have sacked head coach Ed Still after less than three months in charge at Vicarage Road.

3rd May 2026
Just looking at that mate.
Wonder how much it has cost Watford in
compensation salaries on contracts with managers
they have sacked.
At least handyman at the club has a full time job greasing the revolving doors.

11th May 2026

League One

Liam Manning leaves Huddersfield Town
by mutual consent.

League Two

Pete Wild leaves Tranmere Rovers
end of short term contract.

Such sad and tragic circumstances why Liam Manning walked away from Huddersfield Town. Yes it all started over two years ago but, this has obviously greatly mentally affected his Wife, himself and their family.

May time prove a healer for them somehow and they find comfort in each other. God bless them all
